Cosaco Ponderosa La Grange
Florals and coriander. Has more of a vibe of a light Belgian blonde than the farminess of a saison. But this is still a beer I enjoy either way. Golden pour with decent head. A light bit of hay. Very pleasant. Light bittersweet finish--pretty breezy feeling here. Probably the best beer I remember having from Cosaco. Bottle from a coffee shop in CDMX.

Cosaco Ponderosa NZ Pils
Some citrus and OK malt background. Something a little off in the malt here, like slightly buttery, but it's just a tinge. Definitely drinkable, and better than most Mexican macro beers. Golden pour with ok head. Bottle.

Cosaco Güera
Not sure if this is the same beer, but they call it the Guera and it's a Belgian pale ale for sure - pretty decent for style. Pours golden amber with decent head and lacing. Florals and some light citrus. Tangy bitter end.

Cosaco Ponderosa Green Belt
De la cervecería Cosaco prácticamente iniciadora del movimiento craftbeer nacional esta “Ponderosa Green Belt”, receta de una American IPA estilo no muy común en el repertorio de Cosaco y tambien poco común que embotelle sus creaciones, sus productos nunca son filtrados ni pasteurizados, esta IPA contiene un 7.5% ABV ya en el limite para poder ser considerada una IIPA, probémosla. En apariencia es una cerveza con una delgada corona de espuma blanquecina, perlas compactas y baja retención, de igual forma la carbonatación es muy escasa, de color dorado intenso casi ambarina con bastante turbidez, cuerpo pronunciado. En aroma tiene una intensidad mediana, creo que para el estilo esta muy marcada la malta, los lupulos si están presentes pero no como se esperaría en una IPA, hay notas a caramelo, corteza de pan, toronja, piña, naranja, muy primigenia en aromas. Ya en paladar tiene un balance entre el lúpulo y la malta no muy conveniente para una American IPA que se caracterizan por un enfoque hacia destacar el lúpulo, el amargor es ligero y la malta si esta pronunciada incluso proporciona sabores a pan, caramelo, grano, los lupulos agregan carácter a toronja, piña, naranja dulce y algunos toques a melón, en definitiva no es un estilo que le vaya a Cosaco por que aunque se puede apreciar una muy buena manufactura por el buen cuerpo y la notable cantidad de malta para generar los 7.5% de alcohol queda fuera del standar del estilo, quizás sea buena cerveza introductoria para personas que apenas comienzan a adquirir gusto por el amargor.

Cosaco Ponderosa Old Fart
De la micro cervecera Cosaco(MEX) esta Barley Wine de nombre “Old Fart”, Cosaco es prácticamente la iniciadora del movimiento micro cervecero nacional, con ya mas de 12 años en el mercado, lamentablemente casi no embotella sus productos por lo tanto es difícil encontrar sus productos fuera de restaurantes o pubs orientados a la venta de cerveza artesanal, afortunadamente “Old Fart” a sido embotellada, este estilo es de alta graduación y es conocido como el mas fuerte de los ingleses, se enfoca en un balance hacia la riqueza de la malta y aunque puede tener notable carácter a lúpulo mientras mas envejecida esta será menos evidente esta característica, debe ser altamente viscosa por el alto contenido en grano y por lo tanto tambien mas dulce, los lupulos que se utilizan son los denominados del viejo mundo, la interpretación de Cosaco de esta Strong British Ale contiene un 10.4% ABV. En apariencia posee una corona de espuma delgada, de perlas bien compactas, color ligeramente marrón con buena retención, el liquido tiene un aspecto turbio y es de color marrón claro con destellos rojizos, cuerpo pleno que se marca en el cristal. En aroma en primera instancia es dulce por la cantidad de malta empleada en la receta, notas a caramelo, melaza, anis, pan tostado, nuez y grano pero tambien es considerable el lúpulo dando notas florales, ligeramente cítricas y pináceas, todo muy bien definido, la intensidad es fuerte. En sabor se presenta el carácter dulce del grano desarrollando sabores a caramelo, ligero toque torrefacto a pan tostado, nuez, herbal y cítrica acompañada de una mediana cantidad de amargor esto y su textura espesa hacen que al final sea seca y deje sensación aceitosa en las mejillas, una muy buena cerveza, complicada en su elaboración, pocas Barley Wine son tan acertadas y ricas, me gustaría probarla añejada y valorar su evolución.

Cosaco Negra
Draft. Dark brown. Smells like it’s going to be sweet, but it’s more of a balanced chocolatey character. A bit watery in the finish....too macrobrewed for my tastes, restrained flavours.

Cosaco Negra
My Bottom Line:
Tobacco and light roast meet caramel candy as earthen bitterness spoils part of the finish.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam tops the hazy brown.
-Light fruitiness roams about.
-Drinkability is decent.
-This is not a bad product; it just needs refinement on a few fronts.

On tap at Fiebre de Malta, Mexico City.

Cosaco Roja
Draught at Fiebre de Malta, Mexico City. Copper colour, mid sized head. Perfumy roasty nose. Mid dry with medium body and soft mouthfeel. Roasty malt with slight notes of bubblegum and marzipan, as well as coffee. Above all its deeply malty with toast and slight raisin. Mid bitter finish. With its deep balanced character and flavour richness it’s a real winner!

Cosaco Negra
Was having fun with this although for a second I thought it was the same as the dark one. HOwever it seemed to me that was more spicy. NIce dirty dark colour, not so watery as many porters and was a little sweet too.
Earlier Rating: 3/24/2005 Total Score: 4.2
Good beer. It has a toasted hops flavor, and it is bitter at the first and it has a sour back flavor. Also is sweet with the firsts tastes. It has a chocolate and candy alike flavor. It very thick.

I had been looking for this beer for a while. Finally found it and tried it. Nice aroma, really dark with a beige creamy head. Usual chocolate flavors, some coffee and some smoked-roasted notes. Carbonation wasn’t that balanced. Very nice. Not only it’s not a myth, it does exist and it’s very nice. One of the top 3 mexican beers I must say.

The aroma was a rich and malty, but it was served too cold, so the aroma got stronger as it warmed. This beer is a very dark brown (very little light passed through), with a thick beige head. The flavor was nutty, with hints of chocolate. It started very sweet, and finished smooth, but there was an odd feeling of carbonation to it. Out of all the beers brewed in Mexico that I have tried, this is easily the best.

This beer is good, lathough I tasted it with a green colour due to the Saint Patrick’s day in an Irish pub. But the taste had the Cosaco’s signature in it.

Cosaco Roja
Draft: Red, purple, violet colour. Sweet aroma with clear cherry tones which are very present in it´s bitter sweet taste. Very refreshing and well balanced, the bartender could not give me much details about this beer, only that it comes from a small brewery in Hidalgo, Mexico. Best Mexican beer I have tasted, I must recommend it. I found it in The Dubliner - Irish Pub, also worth a visit.
